German defense minister slams Trump-Putin partial ceasefire deal – POLITICO
by Chris Lunday · POLITICOBERLIN — German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius lambasted United States President Donald Trump’s highly touted partial ceasefire in Ukraine.
“After this supposedly groundbreaking, great phone call, the Russian attacks have not decreased,” German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told German broadcaster ZDF on Wednesday, taking a jab at Trump and dismissing the deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “zero.”
Trump had lauded his conversation with Putin as “very good and productive,” and a White House readout of the discussion declared it the beginning of an "energy and infrastructure ceasefire.”
